Method and system for making and using an occlusive barrier for bone regeneration and occlusive barrier obtained by said method

Abstract

A method and system for bone tissue regeneration in association with a predetermined dental bone structure obtains a computerized tomography scan of a dental bone structure on which to regenerate bone tissue. A three-dimensional model digitally represents the dental bone structure. A treatment plan corresponding to said three-dimensional model and a design order permit forming an occlusive barrier for covering the portion of the dental bone structure whereupon to regenerate bone tissue. An occlusive barrier from a biocompatible material and an osteoconductive material form flesh and regenerated bone tissue via osteoconduction. The occlusive barrier includes irrigation channels for permitting flushing of said interior volume and may be formed of pieces printed for forming a volume to regenerate bone tissue. The occlusive barrier may be subjected to a heat treatment for alleviating molecular stress and increasing occlusive barrier ductility and strength. Surface sandblasting treatment forms surface porosity promoting osteoconduction.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a technology that allows dental professionals to obtain a computerized tomography scan of a patient's bone structure, which can then be used to regenerate bone tissue. This scan can be obtained through an internet application and then a three-dimensional model can be formed using a printing software application. This technology provides a more efficient and precise way to restore dental bone structure.

Problems solved by technology

Ideal bone grafts and fillings should have properties of these three processes, in addition to being biocompatible and providing mechanical stability.

Disadvantages are related to the quality of the regenerated bone tissue, which is not always predictable.

At present, to use autologous grafts, a surgical procedure is required at the donor site for its production, with the consequent risk of postoperative morbidity, infection, pain, hemorrhage, muscle weakness, neurological injury, graft necrosis, among others; in addition, the surgical time is considerably increased and in some cases the amount of graft generated may be insufficient.

When the devices or barriers are preformed, spaces may remain that allow soft tissues to be invaded as well as the entrance of bacteria, with the consequent risk of infection and therefore of treatment failure.

This process is seriously lacking in efficiency and accuracy.
